The Rocketman came to fame during the 2014–15 NHL season with main appearances occurring during the 2015 Stanley Cup playoffs.

After one of the speaker giveaways at a Tampa Bay Lightning game Ben decided to have the Rocketman sit in one of his rink-side seats.

It was shortly after when people started to notice and post pictures and questions on social media about it.

However, Rocketman gained more nationwide exposure at a subsequent game on March 25, 2014 where the Tampa Bay Lightning played the Florida Panthers.

While Malektronic will not deny the use of an astronaut at the games was part of some fun marketing they will still swear the superfan aspect is valid.
